DAKOTA CYCLONE.

A furious cyclone struck Grand Forks
Dakota, about 8 p. M, Thursday, the 10TH
and the storm ragged for half an hour, the
wind blowing at the rate of 20 miles an
hour. From fifty to seventy-five houses
were destroyed, also the Catholic church
Plain Dealer office, Second National bank,
Ingall House, Pioneer Club house, Hunt,
Holt a. Garner Bros. machinery warehouse
were wrecked. In the second story of the
house occupied by Mr.. Starbird were six
persons, Mrs. Starbird and her three
children, Cora A. Bright, girl of twelve
Albert, boy of fifteen; the third an infant
of less than year, and Mrs. Toilet, whose
husband is engineer on a steamer at Fargo,
and her mother, Mrs. Davis, who was on a
visit from her home in Iowa. The boy
made his escape through the rear door be-
fore the building collapsed and Mrs. Star
bird, who with her infant in her arms was
about fleeing the building, was picked up by
the wind and carried into the middle of the
street, where she was rescued. Cora Star
bird was instantly killed by being struck
on the temple by falling timber. Mrs
Toilet, also met her death in the ruins, and
her mother, Mrs. Davis, received injuries
from which her death was momentarily ex-
pected.
In the Manitoba repair shops ten men
wrecked, not timber remaining standing.
Three men succeeded in getting into a pit
and were unhurt, but the other seven suf-
fered injuries which it is hoped may not
be fatal. The Manitoba R. R., depot and
eating house were blown down and two
persons badly hurt. Several others had
miraculous escapes. In East Grand Forks
nine houses were wrecked and an unknown
man killed by falling building. The rear
coach, smoking car and caboose of the

track at Pierson, five miles north. The
passenger coach, in which were fifteen
persons, six of them women, turning COM

TO FATEN STOCK.

Complete quietude is also matter
of the first Importance, as it is well
known that an animal in confinement
will fatten much faster than one whose
liberty is not - restricted as to pre-
vent him from taking too much phys
ical exercise Muscular exertion in
creases respiration and accelerates the
flow of blood. which, rs it passes
through your lungs, becomes charged
with atmospheric oxygen, and which
latter introduced more freely burns out
the fat. Hence it is that in cOnfine-
ment as soon as hog begins to fat
ten the less inclined he is for physical
exercise. and consequently aecumulates
fat the faster. In other words. the
faster he grows the more sluggish he
becomes and the more rapidly he takes
on fat

TO TEST CREAM OF TARTAR.

Among the various articles that are
adulterated' cream Of tartar comes in
for its share. On account of its high cost,
it is mixed with terra alba (white
earth, )rice -four, etc. 1t is possible
to get ,,ure cream of tartar, and nine
cases out of ten just as possible for the
grocer to tell the pnre from the bogus.
The New England Grocer gives the fol-
lowing plain, simple and inexpensive
way of finding out for oneself: Put one
quarter teaspoonful of cream tartar in
half glass of boiling water. Stir, and
await results. If the liquor be clear and
the tarar wholly dissolved, the chances
are the tartar is pure. But if the liquor
be milky and Opaque, and settles in the
bottom of the glass white, there can be
no question as to the impurity of the
compound. What the adulterantis might
be hard to determine without an analy-
sis. The probability is however, as be
fore stated, terra alba or rice flour
Try this some night at your home, and
if you are not benefited your children

"h you use 4 very thin glass there is
no danger of its breaking; and if a thick
glass is used, pour the hot water into
the glass very slowly, until it is warmed
throug, then all danger Of breaking is
past, After the water has cooled, you
will observe the crystals forming on the
bottom, sides and even on the surface
of the water. These crystals are the
genuine tartar. and can be reduced as
before"

FOR HEALTH's SAKE.

On the whole, the health-seeker will
do well to make the flesh of the sheep
and OK, in moderate quantities, his
staple, so far as albuminoid food is
concerned, but he must vary this
constantly with chicken, game and
| fish, when in season. He will hardly
need to be told that beef and mutton,
when good and properly cooked, give
him life and energy, and therefore
comfort and to great degree happi-
ness, but l may remind him that an I'M
due proportion of animal food renders
him more liable to inflammatory troub-
les, whether acute or chronic, and
again, if subject to rheumatism or
other blood complaint, he must be
cautious in the use of such Vi
